Training Schedule for 2022/2023
The senior NBVA Training Squads have developed into coach selected, tiered training levels running for 6 week blocks. There will be three levels available to both men and women with squads of 8* players for each block. Please see below Training Schedule for the 2022/2023 Season.
The purpose of these groups is for competition-level training, and hence your selection will be based on performance. Players will only be permitted to participate in a single training level to sustain the Progression Pathway.

FAQs
How are selections made?
Squads will be limited to 8* players for each block. These selections will be made based on the NBVA Selection Process considering the NBVA Training Squad Criteria. You will also be expected to adhere to the Training Member Requirements.

What is the costs?
The cost of each block will be equivalent to the number of training sessions within that block. For example, a 6-week block for the men’s group 1, will be twice per week, will cost $240 upfront.
What happens is I have to miss a training session?
Each player will be required to pay up-front for the 6-week block (i.e. twice per week, will cost $240 upfront). If a player cannot attend a session, NO REFUNDS will be allowed if you miss a session over the 6 week block
